I never received formal training, but since one of my father of one of my mates was the Support Company Sargeant Major...
And our own company SgtMaj was an old machinegunner himself....
Well, lets just say informal opportunities to learn new things came along on a regular basis.

There's nothing as much fun as a 100 round burst from a tripod - except maybe a few hundred kilos of ANFO loaded into an old car body...
Car? What car?

I was never on guns myself but we did get a familiarisation on the sustained fire role so we could assist the guys who were. It was pretty similar to aiming a mortar, as I recall.

Exact same sighting system, in fact we "borrowed" them from the mortar plattoon for the "training".

Basically if you can fire a mortar, and know how to use the machinegun (and who in an infantry unit doesn't?) you can fire it indirect in the SFMG role.
